About this program
The National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) administers the Lauren Ryan Genetic Counselor Access Memorial Award, an annual $2,500 scholarship established to advance diversity, inclusion, and equitable access to the genetic counseling profession; one award is offered for 2025. Eligible applicants are current first‑year students in an ACGC‑accredited master’s genetic counseling program in good standing who self‑identify as a member of an underrepresented group within the profession, an individual with a disability (per the Americans with Disabilities Act), a first‑generation graduate student, or from a low‑income background (defined as 150% of HHS federal poverty guidelines). Applications for 2025 have closed; the NSGC page provides contact information for questions and tax‑deductible donation details for the Genetic Counseling Foundation.
